Learning to write like a lawyer is perhaps the greatest challenge of legal education, and even practiced attorneys can work at making their arguments more persuasive and cogent.
We encourage students to become stronger legal writers by taking an active part in their own writing process. The Writing Center does not guarantee better grades. Nor do we offer proofreading or editing services, or assist in analyzing substantive legal issues. Instead, we advise on issues of style, mechanics, and argument structure; writing for particular audiences; and choosing rhetorical strategies.
The Law School Writing Center provides students with individualized, professional writing help at no charge. Please read the frequently asked questions and feel free to contact the writing consultant if you need additional information about this service.
